Along the lines of Thraxx's post (common sense when stage diving), I thought it would be interesting to see what basic, common sense "rules" everyone has for going to shows.
Here's mine:
1. If you don't want to be in the pit, get the hell out of the way.
2. If you are in the front, its your responsibilty to help anyone crowd surfing to get over your head and to the bouncers. (My friend wouldn't listen to me at the Danzig show and she kept ducking trying to get out of the way and eventually someone kicked her in the head and face hit the guardrail. Ouch!)
3. Stay hydrated, especially at club shows. Those suckers get stuffy quickly.
4. Know your exits just in case you need to get the hell out of there fast. (Remember the Great White show? Did anyone see the video that the guy took of the people trapped in the doorway? Those pictures are forever burned in my brain. So, so sad.)
